Andrew Kyle Purtell resolved HBASE-20429.
-----------------------------------------
Resolution: Implemented
> Support for mixed or write-heavy workloads on non-HDFS filesystems
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-20429
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20429
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Umbrella
> Reporter: Andrew Kyle Purtell
> Priority: Major
> Labels: s3
>
> We can support reasonably well use cases on non-HDFS filesystems, like S3,
> where an external writer has loaded (and continues to load) HFiles via the
> bulk load mechanism, and then we serve out a read only workload at the HBase
> API.
> Mixed workloads or write-heavy workloads won't fare as well. In fact, data
> loss seems certain. It will depend in the specific filesystem, but all of the
> S3 backed Hadoop filesystems suffer from a couple of obvious problems,
> notably a lack of atomic rename.
> This umbrella will serve to collect some related ideas for consideration.
